WAITE RVILLE.

Winthrop Smith, Mr.. Rogers head clerk,
started for Minneapolis Wednesday morning,
intending to be absent from home four or
five weeks. He will visit his brother Albert
Swift. formerly of Waterville, but who for
the mast three or four years has been engaged
in the real estate and loan business at Mime
apolis.
A Waterville young lady, sojourning at
SQUIRREL Irland, few days ago received
quite a remittance from home in letter
The letter with its valuable contents was
thrown upon table with lot of worthless
papers and soon after, in fit of absentmind-
edness, the whole pile was used to kindie the
fire.
F. L. Banks, Esq, of Belfast, was in town
Tuesday looking the ground over with view
TO opening a law office. The brilliant array
of legal talent already here, however, proved
too much for his courage.

Sol SMITH RUSSELL

Made his farewell appearance in Augusta,
last evening, in "Edgewood Folks" play
which has been built over so that it fits the
tsvorite comedian with much nicely, aud by
the aid of his excellent support he was able
to give one OF the most unique of funny en-
tertalnments. Original as ever, ludicrous in
the extreme, he at the same time presented q
great variety of fun and his changes from one
Character to another were as surprising as
bis droll minicry. New character songs were
introduced and his odd representation of the
Old maid brought down the house. Ii is to
be hoped that Sol will recall his good bye
manifesto and continues to amuse the people.

THE LABOR BUREAU.
Interest and Sympathy Manifested by
Organized Labor.
Pauper Statistics Reeeiv.d-Towns to be
Heard From.

Commissioner Matthews informs us that
the work of his Bureau is progressing quite
satisfactorily. Besides making personal Wis
its to the larger manufacturing towns in the
State, be has sent two sets of blanks to every
town. To these inquiries, replies have been
received from more than 25O towns. The
second blank sent to towns relates to paupers,
a I'd the interesting information therein con-
tanned will be given to the public as soon as
"the returns are all in" In addition to these
blanks, some 20OO blanks have been already
sent out to manufacturers and working men.
The commissioner is gratiied at the readi
ness with which the working men, especially
those connected with labor organic atoms, re
spond TO his inquiries. The intelligent inter
est and sympathy in the work of the Bureau
manifested by "organized labor" in the State,
Is an encouraging evidence that the underlying
laws of social grievances are receiving it's
candid attention, and that thought is being
given to questions of political economy.
The power of organized labor is in it's
thought, and reason, rather than passion, is
the car that will carry it to higher plane.
The commissioner says that while many man
facturers answer the questions contained in
the blanks sent to them quite fully, there are
certain omissions which seriously affect the
general purpose of the inquiries made. The
whole truth is better than partial conceal
ment of facts from which false impressions
are drawn.
Twenty-one towns in Kennebec county have
responded to the blanks sent out to obtain in.
formation about paupers, and several delinquent
ones are to be heard from. The figures of
of those heard from are as follows:

The new series of postage stamps soon to
be issued will vary very little from the designs
now in use. The vignettes will not be changed
at all, and the portraits on the new stamps
will be Identical with those now in use. The
chief object of the change will be to make
the new series of adhesive stamps conform to
those embossed upon the envelopes now used
from the d partment. To this end there will
be several changes in the colors employed.
The most noticeable of these will be in the two
cent stamp. This is now brown. In the
new series it will be of milori green.
